I'm begining to suspect that Fernando Alonso is actually a robot with a few pre-programmed responses. I can't wait until he is put in charge of the atomic clock, the single most accurate timekeping device in the world. Let's see him bring half a second to that ...

2) he was asked what does a great driver bring to the team. He answered "1/2 a second".

Nowhere he said or implied more relative to Massa or the departed Kimi. In fact, he knows quite well how fast Massa is, they had memorable battles. However, I am pretty sure he believe he brings extra speed compared to the average driver, I am pretty sure Lewis and Vettel and Button would all agree with him. Of course, if you want to say he is not modest, you can do so by saying he is implying he is a great driver. I would argue he is, some might disagree. But nowhere he attempts to sate this as an ability limited to him only

The title of this thread is completely irrelevant and based on incorrect interpretation of an article my the OP. Please close

The last paragraph is titled "El sueño de Ferrari" clearly it's related to Ferrari.

So, we are not allowed to discuss an Alonso interview There should however be a question mark in the title as I ask a question in the first post.

Actually Alonso interviews are always welcome. This one especially would have been a great topic if the title was not such an obvious flamebait and was is now evidently incorrect interpretation."Alonso says a great driver can bring 0.5sec to team" Now that would have been and can still be a topic worthy of the atlas boards of old, and heck it still has enough room for the odd "where did the 0.1 go?" joke.
